Well, I definitely would say we have a consensus here! I appreciate all the feedback.
But it's getting really odd now: I met W to take S6 to the Dr - his class has had strep, Influenza B, etc - a bunch of bugs, so we were just being careful - he had 102 temp last night.
Anyway, we were sitting there just teasing S6 and being funny - actually conversing really well. I didn't feel a bit awkward - I actually felt more like myself than I have in a long time, and it makes it so much easier to chat! We were even smiling at each other about inside jokes with the Dr - he thanked us for our patience, and both of us had the dorky joke of saying something about being his "patients" - you know that sort of stuff that probably isn't funny to anyone else.
So, anyway this was SO awkward. S6 was up on the Dr. bench waiting on Dr, and W and I were in two chairs, and S6 pipes up: "Do you think you two will get back together again, if Daddy agrees, and Mommy agrees?"
So, then the interesting part happened - W didn't say anything. In the past, she has been very quick to do that sing-song, nice-mom "No, honey." So, we just sat there for about 15 seconds not saying anything, and the tension was so high I finally said something really dumb, I'm so embarrassed. I told S6 "Maybe if you run around in circles 47 times in the sky!" I didn't know what to say - I kept waiting for W to answer, so that was my lame attempt at humor attempting to redirect. Luckily, S6 just laughed, and didn't try it!
So then it was very odd - so I just asked him about his mashed potatoes he had for dinner. He then pointed at W and said, " I don't think you would agree, but (pointing at me) YOU would agree."
It was the weirdest thing, but W just took over with the mashed potatoes theme, and luckily he just let it go.
So, what the heck does THAT mean? I'm asking on here, and letting it go - don't attempt to rationalize the irrational!
I appreciate all the feedback.
